Yellow Warbler, Magee Marsh, Ohio

The Biggest Week in American birding is slightly earlier this year…and the warblers are slightly late…so the warbler show at Magee Marsh is getting off to a slow start. Yellow-rumped Warblers are in, Palms have mostly passed through, there are a few Black-throated Greens, Perulas, and Morning Warblers…and lots of Ruby-crowned Kinglets, a few House Wrens, and Baltimore Orioles. But there are a LOT of Yellow Warblers, especially at the east end of the boardwalk. This bright male is showing fresh spring plumage.
